Sports is the worst possible analogy you could have picked in order to try to support your argument.
Usain Bolt and all of the top athletes have had to train like crazy and hone themselves to become masters of their craft. They have competition, and the gap between the top 5 while measurable, is narrow. It's a gap that can be crossed by dedication and training.
Meanwhile the situation here is that in a completely regular weightlifting competition in our own world, Superman walks in, bench presses a building and then the 2nd place winner is told that they simply lack talent.
